Conditions
Brief summary
This study investigates the frequency of central venous catheter-related venous thrombosis in children. Further, we want to describe risk factors for the development of central venous catheter-related venous thrombosis in children and short term complications of thrombosis.
Interventions
Observational study.
The primary outcome of the study is the frequency of central venous catheter-related venous thrombosis in children receiving central venous catheters at Astrid Lindgrens Children´s Hospital.
All children receiving central venous catheters at Astrid Lindgrens Children´s Hospital will be included in the study.
Blood sampling for coagulation tests will be obtained at the insertion and extraction of the central venous catheter (CVC). Patients will be followed for clinical sig
Observational study. The primary outcome of the study is the frequency of central venous catheter-related venous thrombosis in children receiving central venous catheters at Astrid Lindgrens Children´s Hospital. All children receiving central venous catheters at Astrid Lindgrens Children´s Hospital will be included in the study. Blood sampling for coagulation tests will be obtained at the insertion and extraction of the central venous catheter (CVC). Patients will be followed for clinical signs of CVC-related venous thrombosis as long as the central venous catheter is in place. Ultrasonography will be used to detect asymptomatic thrombosis at the time of CVC removal. Patients will be followed until hospital discharge. Patients that develop CVC-related thrombosis will be followed until the end of treatment.
